I second daveshan's comment about keeping these babies running forever. Now is the time to stock up (within reason) on some of the vital parts that your beloved 200 series will need in the years to come. Push comes to shove I'm sure there will be a supplier out there with the part you need even if it costs you a arm and a leg. Never the less my 200 Series vehicles have allowed me to save enough money by not asking for payments (only regular maintenance) that I was able to get the wife in a nicer car (and get back my 84 245DL wagon) and build up the saving account for those rainy days.

On a last note the 84 245DL I speak of just hit 220,000 and just got a Mobil 1 (10W30) and Genuine Volvo Oil Filter service thanks to yours truly. Costs for oil change service = $28.00 (got the filters on Ebay in a lot sale and the oil was $6 a quart). Joy of driving my beloved 245DL = Priceless!!!

Sincerely,
